    I meant come up to my level and have a discussion instead of dismissing me by saying for me to "deal with it". You have the wrong idea about how I like to have discussions.

    Why does a discussion have to be a fight? Why can't we talk back and forth like adults?

    But if you don't want to have an adult discussion... that's cool.



    So..... does anyone think ammonia is okay for a fish? Why do you feel this way?

    I used a molly, it lived, it worked, the fish is fine.
    What else is there to say?

    That you didn't live in the fish's body, nor did you have a telepathic link to its mind, therefore you could not have known what the fish went through?


    You argument is likening a veteran's months of torture in Vietnam to being "Perfectly fine, because he came out alive." Ethics don't change with scale.

    You can't read my tone, but I am talking to you like I was just sitting across a table.....

    I get that you are okay with using fish to cycle a tank. But let me ask this.... are you aware that is causes stress.

    Come on... this could be an interesting discussion if we can all keep our feathers from being ruffled.

    Your right. On a computer it’s hard to tell what tone they are using.

    *Gives BR a margarita too.* :)

    K then, to me... to say a fish went through a cycle and it was "okay", means there were no ill effects or undo stress caused by the process. What does "okay" mean to you?

    We might need to continue this tomorrow. I’m going to bed in a few minutes. If you want, you can PM me so we can talk without a specific short short-tempered person giving their $.02
